Progressive Christian John Shore wants to hear from Christian conservatives:

Tell me that your belief system didn’t help but the hot tears on this kid’s cheeks. Tell me that the bullies who torment this kid aren’t in any way encouraged or empowered by your tacit approval of their actions. Tell me that the shame this kid feels about himself has nothing to do with the shame that you believe all gay people should feel for themselves.

Support is pouring in for Jonah Mowry—thanks largely to the efforts of Perez Hilton—and Jonah expresses his gratitude for all the support here. It really does get better, Jonah, and you helped make it better for yourself by telling your story and reaching out. Hang in there.
